Thomas Showman Obituary

Thomas Michael Showman, 67, of Willard, Ohio, passed away peacefully at home on the evening of Tuesday, May 27, 2025.
Born on April 12, 1958, in Tiffin, Ohio, Tom was the beloved son of Donald and Lois Showman (Anderson).
Tom is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Cynthia Showman (Long); his two sons, Anderson (Ariane) and Matthew (Megan); and his cherished grandchildren, Mason and Adler, with two additional grandchildren expected this year. He is also survived by his siblings, Karen (Mark), Jerry (Darlene), and Brenda (Prentice); sisters-in-law, Judith Ellard, Gloria Day and Melinda Long; brother-in-law; Tommy Clayton, along with many extended family members and dear friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Donald and Lois Showman; mother-in law and father-in-law, Estella and Ottis Long Sr.; sisters-in-law, Ila Clayton, Vicki Barringer and Debbie Long; brother-in-law, Ottis Long Jr.
Tom was a United States Army Veteran and proudly served for 26 years, a testament to his strong sense of duty and leadership. In 2022, he was inducted into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame. After his military career, he continued to give back in many ways-serving on the Pioneer and Willard School Boards, the Willard Mercy Hospital Board, the Mercy Foundation Board, and the Toledo Mercy Board. His professional journey culminated in his role as president of Sutton Bank, where he retired after a career marked by integrity and a passion for helping others.
He will be remembered for his steady presence, strong character, and deep love for his family and community. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched and the contributions he made throughout his life.
